    I had lunch with a buffalo!
    Liz B.

    I cannot understand for the life of me, why Fairview only has 3 1/2 stars. If you'd like the sweetened condensed version of my review, here: Fairview is beautiful, their staff is always friendly and their food is delicious. If you'd like a more detailed version of this culinary adventure, continue on... I've found it extremely hard to get a good meal in this neck of the woods... Fairview is one of the very few places that always hits the spot. The decor is stunning (unless you're a diehard PETA alum... There are deceased animal heads all over the walls.). I have been here twice so far but my boss visits Fairview frequently and is always pleased. Our waitress is very attentive but not to the point of annoyance. She's as friendly as can be, just like every other staff member I've encountered. The food... THE FOOD... Well, it's tasty! I've never been disappointed with the menu. The chef uses fresh and unique ingredients. And my God, DO NOT leave there without trying the chocolate torte. I've only been there around lunch time, but from what I see the prices are quite reasonable! If you're looking for the dollar menu, move along.. If you're looking for a fine dining establishment that won't break your bank, Fairview. Okay, I think I covered everything.. Chocolate torte, ambiance, chocolate torte, the friendly staff, chocolate torte, the menu, chocolate torte, the prices... Oh, and I can't forget to mention the chocolate torte. You're welcome. I'd definitely recommend Fairview... In fact I do. I even asked to have my bridal shower here... (But my bridesmaids are stingy.) Anyway, go there.

    Nice place to grab a meal. Food is good and menu has a lot of options

    So sad this has closed. It was surely a treat in the Poconos. Unbelievable food, beautiful location - we will miss Fairview Lake Cafe.

Let's start with the obvious: this is supposedly a chop house. So how do you mess up the steak? I ordered medium and it came out rare, poorly cut, and completely flavorless. No crust, no seasoning, no care. It's impressive, honestly you have to actively try to make a steak this sad in a restaurant that literally has "chop house" in the name. Not worth the price for sure. The menu reads like someone threw darts at a culinary map. Sicilian kimchi? Why? The carpaccio had all the excitement of wet paper. The Caesar salad was wilted and bland. The onions and mushrooms were somehow both greasy and watery at the same time, an impressive feat of culinary confusion. The veal pasta was so aggressively lemony it tasted like someone dropped a bottle of Pledge into the pan. Then there was the whitefish special with chips that felt like a bizarre, half-hearted attempt to acknowledge the Jewish holiday. As a Jew, if that was the intention, it came across more like a punchline than a tribute. Presentation across the board looked rushed and sloppy. The real question is: who is the chef and what exactly are they doing back there? Because if your entire concept is a chop house and the steak is the worst part of the meal, something has gone very wrong. Gresham Chop House has great service, which is honestly the only reason this experience wasn't a complete disaster. But the kitchen needs a serious identity check, and maybe a salt shaker.

    Decided to go for a nice dinner with the wifey during a weekend getaway. After a long search for a…read morenice place to dine at we decided to have dinner at the Fairview Cafe. We we're told that they're BYOB so it made us look forward to our evening. This place is extremely cozy, have a decent size parking lot and a moderate size fire place right in the middle of the dinner area. Nothing at this place was too tacky or over done. We we're lucky enough to be hosted by a great host who was at the time training another server. Our host/server was extremely nice, pleasant and approachable. She definitely helped us with the menus and made our evening special by taking pictures of us per our request. We started off our dinner with Arugula salad and a French onion soup that I never had and been wanting to try. Both the salad and the French onion soup right off the bat beat our expectations. We then moved onto our appetizers and had the highly rated fried goat cheese and blue crab popper delights. Both of the appetizers were spot on. The appetizers set our expectations so high we decided to move on to some of their best on the menu. My wife picked the rack of lamb and I went with the cowboy ribeye. These main courses were very good. The ribeye and the rack of lamb was cooked to perfection. The rack of lamb with blackberry bourbon sauce was perfect choice for the rack of lamb. The steak was meaty, fatty and very tasty. I had my fingers crossed and just like I hoped the steak wasn't over cooked and was a perfect medium well. Our dinner experience was very pleasant and the food definitely met our expectations. Only disappointment we experienced was when it came to dinner the options were a lot, but a lot of cakes and pies. If you have a sweet tooth you'll definitely like their cakes, but if you're not then I wouldn't be too excited towards dessert. I hope this place really ups their dessert game and focus on quality over quantity. Overall our experience was great, dinner met our expectations, and the ambience was perfect for a cold winter evening. Must add the service was highlight of the evening. MUST TRY: Rack of Lamb, Cowboy Ribeye, Blue Crab Poppers, Fried Goat Cheese, French Onion Soup.
